Where did Touji go?	Where did everyone go?

kengo:(beach_anger face) Ora!! Oryaaaa!!

2 options (Same Response)
Oh, I found Kengo	What are you doing, Kengo

Oh, Partner! It looks weird, but I'm doing some special training for kicking.

Kengo is seen in the middle of the pool kicking the water where he stands.

kengo:(beach_anger face) This'll make some great training! Ha, Ora, Oryaaa!!

	Glubub, some water hit me!	Do that over there!

Hey!!?? What're you doing? Damn it, some water got in my mouth!

Now ya did it, partner!! Ora!! How about that?!! Hahaha!

Kengo and Player then began laughing while kicking water towards each other

good grief, how long are you going to keep acting like a kid, Kengo?

What Shirou? Coming back to roast me again.

heheh, I get it now. Could it be you're jealous, Shirou?

What are you saying? I'm not jealous--

Partner and I were just playing around. Course you don't know since you're always acting like a boring grownup.

T-that's not...

2 options
Let's play together, Shirou	Sorry for acting like kids
	ah, no. I-it's not your fault.

3 options
Say, what were you looking at?	Shirou, over here	Is something over there?
Ah no no. Your swimsuit... it's uh..	Ah no no. Your swimsuit... it's uh..	Ah no no. Your swimsuit... it's uh..

2 options
I didn't show it before?	I just got a new one
	Oh that's what it was... It's um.. It's looks r-r-really--

Yahoo! I’m back! Oh hey, player, your swimsuit looks really nice on you!

Na—?? That's my line! Better yet Ryouta, where have you been this whole time?

Ehehee, inviting him over took some time. Hey c’mon! Over here!!

.....

I’ve brought Touji along. Figured since we’re all here that we can play together.

2 options
I've been looking for you, Touji	Nice job, Ryouta
( face)	Saying such bad things about people..! I wasn’t running away. I was just being vigilant of the other side you were on, Player. I thought he was running away when he said that, if he wanted to look for the other side, he’d find it. Nevertheless, escaping— 場所を変えても先回りされていた。 As expected, you’re one not to make light of, Yakushimaru Ryouta.

2 options
Now then, let's have fun, everyone!	So, what should we do first?
( face)	Yes! Me first! I want to go dive in deep over there! What’s that? I’ll pass. Besides, ain’t that a kiddy attraction?

It’s actually a 300 meter tall waterslide! Sounds fun, right? So let’s go!

..!! What’s with that height? Shouldn’t you at least check its safety layout first?

Player.. I—

Understand. I shall show the bravery of the sentinel.

C’mon c’mon. Everyone’s going to slide all at once!

Player, let’s do our best today! You get it? We can finally start that plan!

2 options (Same Response)
Yeah, of course	Operation Start!

Woah! This is amazing!!

The aftershock of the waterslide was enough to make Shirou dizzy upon landing.

Motoori Shirou...

Touji extended his hand out to the somewhat unconscious Shirou

If you stay here, then it’ll be hard for others behind to get through. It’s best that we move now.

Sakimori? Ah, thank you.

With a “heave-ho”, Shirou got up. They then proceeded to move from their current location.

Still, that was somewhat... intense. Whew... where’s everyone else?

They've already left to go back on the waterslide. Honestly, they’re very restless.

I agree, they’re very energetic. Haha, they’ve always been like that actually.

......

Hey.

Uh..

The two both spoke at the same time, but got quiet. Shirou then began to speak again.

Uh, Sakimori. Let me say thank you again.

.....

While I was away, I’ve heard that a lot had happened. But I believe I haven’t expressed my gratitude for that.

Truthfully, I should’ve said it sooner, but I’ve missed a chance to do so.

There’s no need for gratitude. In my belief, I was just doing what was deemed necessary.

If that had helped you, そういう巡りもあるだろう、それだけのことだ。

Even so, I feel I should give my thanks.

I see.

I also have something to say to you, Motoori Shirou.

When we first met back in Shinjuku, I had verbalized very harsh words to you.

Eh? You mean during the time the first Exception had happened?

The disaster that would’ve destroyed Tokyo. Unintentionally, it was you two who had caused it.

While I myself had also caused an Exception, I wanted to take responsibility for my actions.

Yours was not done on purposely. However, I let my anger get the best of me.

At that time, I had lost my composure. The actual ignorant child was me.

Back then, I believe it’s true that I had no idea.

Even if no one had gotten mad, I myself would’ve understand the weight of what I’ve done.

I see. Even so. There’s always a place for an apology.

Looks like it’s a serious one. I prefer wherever that place is as well.

I agree with you— no, Motoori Shirou.

Kengo and Ryouta:(beach_joy face) YAHOO!!!!

Glubbbb!

Blubbbb!

The three come down from the water slide again bringing with them a huge column of water. Shirou gaudily fell down from the rush of water hitting him.

Hahaha, these slides are so much fun. Oh hey it’s Chairman and Touji.

Ryouta! Kengo!!

Ehehehe, Sorry!... But you should have more fun, chairman!

Hey Ryouta! We’d better run for it! He’s really mad and he’s gonna get us!

1 choice
Where should we go next?
How about we go to the water sports next? See, it’s over there!

Ryouta said as he points to the attraction, there’s urethane floats and well as ropes stretched out above the water.

Oh, you spotted a good place, let’s go to that! This’ll be some good body training!

2 choices (Same Response)
Great, let's go!	Can't be helped, but let's try it out

The water sports area; an attraction that has plenty of urethrane boards and floats for people to cross over.

In the midst of the many guests who were splashing about, Kengo managed to balance himself and break through the obstacles one after another.

Hehe, this is really easy! Did those guys already tap out?

wait, Shirou and Ryouta aside, Player too?

Where are you looking? I’m still here you know.

Whoa! You scared the hell out of me! You were there this whole time?

In an instant, Kengo raised his voice surprised to see that Touji was next to him.

kengo:(beach_anger face) Not bad. Up until now, this was something I have been unrivaled in.

Keep in mind, I’ve also trained for the sake of my mission.

Unlike some who trained for their own enjoyment, my “reason” is completely different.

Hohoho! Interesting!

Kengo smiled like a carnivorous beast. Then proceeded to point his finger towards Touji.

kengo:(beach_anger face) I thought eventually we’d settle the score between us. Who’s the Summoners’ strongest and who’s got my partner’s back.

Infantile, but very well. I accept your challenge.

kengo:(beach_anger face) Alright! Check it out for yourself!! Uoooooh!!!

Haa... haa...

kengo:(beach_anger face) heh... heh...

kengo:(beach_anger face) You instinctively caught me slippping. But the result—

Ah, that’s enough. Because I know your strength now.

kengo:(beach_embarassed face) Or well, I already knew how strong you were. I fought to help Shirou out, that reason alone.

....

kengo:(beach_anger face) To be honest— I don’t really care about you.

kengo:(beach_anger face) You might’ve trained somewhere else for your reasons, but it also maybe to hold down that crazy temper of yours, ain’t it?

Exactly. Something that you can’t see past that short-fused aspect of yours, Takabushi Kengo.

The compatiblity between you and I will be abominable.

Yeah, but still— I approve of your strength. From here on out, I alone can’t protect them.

...

W-what’s with the surprised look you’ve got on?

Of course I’m surprised. I’m not sure if you’re familiar about the rumor when you were enrolled with the Berserkers.

What? You knew about that?

I was conducting an investigation of the app. You weren’t aware of the Berserkers’ Ranker system.

Either way, it was just a rumor, right?

Yes, a group who does nothing but lives the greed of fighting with an unknown tomorrow. Among them, your rumors stood out most.

Like a man destroying himself through fighting.

....

Yeah, that’s right. Back then that was me, big time.

But I’ve changed. Back then, it was just about me.

If it’s just you who got stronger, it’d be alright. If you can fight a strong opponent, then—

kengo:(beach_anger face) Then again, it’s not like the greed had disappeared. But now, I’ve got the same motive as before— I wanna protect them.

I struggle with all my might not to get violent.

But when I’m with them, I feel like I can go anywhere.

But that ain’t enough. I myself can’t protect them alone.

That’s why we need you too. At least that’s what I think!

I see. You’re right, Takabushi Kengo, you are — strong.

There’s a missing spot to fill. Rest assured, I’ll be the one to compensate for it.

kengo:(beach_anger face) Heh, speak for yourself. Among them, I haven’t heard the sound of our fists clashing between us yet.

So, that’s about it. Well, I’m gonna rest up for a little bit!

What? Wait! You’re going rest here?

Touji’s protests seemed futile. Kengo then found a place to lay down, then began to sleep while making snoring noises.

What? Wait! You’re going rest here?

I’ll have to take him. Sorry guys, would you mind waiting for a bit.

So Touji, did it work out? Did you get to talk more? Was it fun?

Was this all planned, Yakushimaru Ryouta, Player??

Perhaps it was a plot to have me talk deeply with those two?

2 options
We got caught!	No, it was all Ryouta!
	You already sold me out?! You’re terrible, Player!!

Hehehe, it worked! But how was it? Fun, right? Playing with friends!

Friends...

Yeah, friends! Right, Player?

2 options (Same Response)
(Smile broadly)	(Offer the peace sign)

Sure, today was... really fun.

Thank you, Yakushimaru Ryouta. Thank you, Player.

You’re welcome! Now it’s time you to have fun with us!

There’s an all-you-can-eat beach restaurant! It’s preopened, but the food selections are unlimited!!

Inuzuka is already saving us our seats! So come on, you two! Let’s go!!

moritaka:(summer_smile face) Ryouta-dono! Everyone! This way! We’re seated over here!!

The terrace side of the crowded restaurant. Moritaka signals his location with the best view.

Hey, Inuzuka! A terrace view! Nice choice!

So, it was successful?

It went pretty well. Somehow, we changed the atmosphere a bit.

Wow, you can see the beach from here. You’ve secured such great seats for us, Inuzuka.

That said, can we eat already? All this swimming and running around made me really hungry...
